the epstein brothers - full circle

[@frantastic56]

Willie Epstein was my Uncle who was married to My Aunt Marion. What awesome music. These 5 Brothers played all over the world!

Hi -- I'm the piano player in these scenes. Interesting anecdote. Whenever I worked with The Epstein Bros., I always played electronic bass (one hand on the acoustic piano, one hand on the keyboard). It sounded like there was a real bass there. However, the producers did NOT want any electronics. We couldn't find any bassists in south Florida who knew Jewish music, so we hired Pat Merola to play bass. Pat was one of the busiest studio bassist in N.Y. making records and an excellent player. However, Klezmer music was something he really wasn't familiar with -- so all night long (and the camera didn't catch it), I'm feeding him the next chord change.

Your arrangement for Tiny Tim's "Do Ya Think I'm Serxy" video (of all thing) brought me here. :) Great work!

They were my cousins and played their great music at my wedding.

Would you happen to know where i could find the video for that concert ? I've been listening the part at 6:44 for years without managing to find the full track outside from the documentary.

I met a conductor on a train. This is his father and brothers.

Please make sure that this is shared with the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, MA. It isn't only for books. Film and video too!!!
